The European leg would last longer than that...will he go out and hire another one to play their songs?
They'll probably just leave out the guitar sections, who'd notice ?

Not really an issue for me. I won't be seeing my favorite band this summer in case Richie can't make it. Quite happy I have not yet bought a ticket.

I gotta say, at this stage I feel the same way. I have a ticket for Slane but simply can't see myself going if Richie isn't there.

I would imagine Phil would cancel his scheduled dates to stick with the Bon Jovi tour. I'd say that's a once in a lifetime opportunity, but in his case, apparently it's at least twice in a lifetime.

If Jon said anything about Richie during the Ellen taping, I wonder if it will leak before the show airs.

That's really interesting. I'm a massive Richie fan - loved his solo show and I think he's an incredible performer. But I'm SOOOOOO bored with Bon Jovi that the only reason I'd go to see them would be Phil X. I don't have a ticket, but will get at least one if Richie doesn't come back

Ellen Show:

Question about Richie:

JBJ :well...all I can say honest to God is that it's a personal matter...but we love him very much...and he's absolutely still a member of the band...
ELLEN :- he's still your guitar player? -
JBJ: Absolutely!

A nice clear concise statement, almost a month late.

According to Jon, Alec is still the bass player too...

This is either a HUGE case of Jon being the most supportive guy ever, or Richie being the biggest douche in the world and throwing his toys out of the pram and letting fans down.

Either way, they really aren't doing themselves any favours. All publicity is NOT good publicity.
